Score 90-92/100 · Josh Raynolds, Feb 2018
Brilliant violet. Energetic, sharply focused red and dark berry scents are complemented by suave floral and zesty mineral flourishes. Sweet and lively in the mouth, offering juicy black raspberry and floral pastille flavors that are sharpened by a jolt of cracked pepper. Puts on weight with air while maintaining energy, and finishes long and silky, with just a hint of dusty tannins lending closing grip.

Glossy varnish aromas on the nose with less lifted fruit definition than their Amphore d'Argent but much more density and texture on the palate. Furry tannin, long finish, ripe and powerful. (RH)
